Do you know what they call a group of ducks on water? A paddling…and you can adopt your very own! Whether your paddling has one duck or a dozen, all 5,000 are waiting to be adopted. Adoption ranges from 1 duck for $8 up to 75 ducks for $250 to benefit hospitalized children in the Child Life Programs at Sutter Children’s Center, Sacramento & UC Davis Children’s Hospital.
Funds raised by The Duck Dash will be used to benefit hospitalized children. Donated funds are used for programs including Beads of Courage & Music Therapy and activities such as art projects, games, musical instruments, activity books, toys, movies, video games, iPads, Kindles, and exercise equipment. These programs and activities are designed to help children and families cope with their medical experiences, educate children about their illnesses, prepare them for procedures and surgeries, offer normal childhood play experiences, and celebrate holidays and special events during hospitalization.
The first Duck Dash was held in June 2013. All years combined, thousands of ducks have been adopted raising over $200,000! (2013-2023)
